This year's World Circular Economy Forum 2025 will feature an EU Accelerator Arena, showcasing a series of sessions dedicated to innovative initiatives that foster circular value chains, trade partnerships and compliance with environmental standards.
Nine sessions hosted at the Arena in Sao Paolo’s Tivoli Hotel (and online) will highlight initiatives promoting the circular economy with EU support.
The Motagua River Basin is facing an unprecedented environmental crisis due to pollution from solid waste and untreated wastewater. The Government of Guatemala and the European Union have pledged to work together on a comprehensive strategy for the recovery of the Motagua River. The result is the Motagua Investment Forum.
The Roadshow INVEST YOJOA will bring together key stakeholders keen to contribute to the recovery of the Yojoa Lake Basin and scale up investment. EU and Honduran companies are invited to attract investment and create technology transfer opportunities!
The Motagua Circular Forum aims to be a catalyst for change in the Motagua River Basin, where circular economy, European investment and collaborative governance build bridges towards a sustainable future.
The forum will bring together local and Team Europe partners, including EU representatives, Member State organisations, financing institutions and the European private sector. It will create a platform for dialogue with the objective of generating partnerships and investment in circular economy infrastructure and value chains in the river basin.
Companies from the water and waste management sectors are invited to be part of this initiative and express their interest in participating in the forum to pitch their solutions in Guatemala.
As part of the EU-LAC Global Gateway Investment Agenda (GGIA), the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) is working on an investment-oriented, multi-partner initiative to support the development of circular economy value chains in Latin America and the Caribbean.
This initiative will be presented to and discussed with European industry at a meeting of the Working Group on Circular Economy in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Threads of Change is a new platform created by Humana People to People that highlights the transformative role of the second-hand clothing (SHC) industry in fostering sustainability, economic growth and social equity.
This initiative calls for supporting policies with a holistic perspective for a sector that is key to reducing environmental impact, creates green jobs along the global value chain, and contributes greatly to the EU’s GDP while minimising the use of scarce resources.
The platform's main aim is to spotlight the SHC industry's critical role in shaping a more sustainable textile sector. Help us build a case for an even more efficient and ambitious textile value chain by sharing your best practices or your views on the topic!
EuRIC Textiles is organising an event presenting the EuRIC Textiles Manifesto and featuring a keynote speech on how the EU textile industry can stay competitive in the circular economy. There will be discussions on advancing textile circularity in Europe, bridging the gap between policy making and business realities, and facilitating the trade of second-hand clothing.
Businesses in India and around the world are adopting the circular economy as a new production paradigm. However, while the economic and environmental dimensions of the circular economy have been explored, its social impact (decent pay, gender equality, labour conditions) has been overlooked.
By surveying 100 workers and interviewing 40 managers in India, the authors developed an inventory of circular jobs with the respective demographic. They found that circular jobs in India are of low quality due to relatively low wage and job security indicators (especially for female workers). Informal migrant women in resale, repair and recycling are most vulnerable. Resale and rental based on internet platform models have the highest earning quality for men and women.
Brazilian Circular Hotspot will bring together experts and business and government representatives from around the world to discuss the challenges and opportunities in transitioning to a more circular economy.
As part of the official agenda of the World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF), the Brazilian Circular Hotspot will be a landmark in Brazil, inspiring and preparing society for the circular transition.
